A recent article discusses the rise of "AI slop," defined as a deluge of shoddy images and videos produced by increasingly powerful AI tools like Google’s Veo and OpenAI’s Sora. In Malaysia, the official mascot for the 2027 SEA Games, Tuah, faced heavy criticism on social media, with netizens speculating it was generated using AI due to unnatural colour composition and an overall artificial quality. AI slop has also entered politics; during the recently concluded Johor state election, AI-generated posters flooded social media, including a cheaply generated poster of a prominent figure carrying words she claimed to have never spoken. Manipulated photos of female members of a party wearing the tudung improperly were also circulated. The article notes that public reaction to the SEA Games mascot revealed unease that creative work is increasingly viewed as something software can produce, and that AI-produced materials have been increasingly spotted across materials from various ministries. It warns that generative AI has dramatically lowered the cost of creating misinformation, and that convincing synthetic media creates a "liar’s dividend," where authentic recordings become easier to dismiss once voters know deepfakes exist.
